Compared to last week: Steers 400 - 450 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher; 450 - 500 lbs 5.00 lower; 500 - 550 lbs, steady; 550 - 650 steady to down 3.00; and over 650 steady. Feeder heifers in most weights sold steady to 3.00 lower; 550 - 600 lbs sold steady. Very good demand for load lots and strings of primarily home raised feeder steers and heifers, with a very active market. Load lots and large packages were very attractive, light to moderate fleshed, with many carrying spring and fall vaccinations. There was some active bidding on some nice heifers that were likely headed back to pasture for a breeding program. The next spring calf special is Oct. 21.
